Better Replacement For Battery Terminal 90982-05030

[perdaniel]

I think that I have overtightened the Battery terminal (part number 90982-05030) on my 2001 Avensis. It doesn't look very sturdy to me. Is it posiible to get a stronger terminal that will match the Battery and the connector on the wire, and fit under the red plastic cover?

The standard one is perfectly up to the job.......just don't over tighten it!!

Mine would slip (on the battery) when I tightened the bolt(90179-08146) that holds the wire on the other side. So I tried to tighten it a little more, and it bent. I cant understand why it is made from such thin metal. Did they want to save weight?

mine collapsed when I tried to replace the Battery a while ago ... I went to the scrappers and got one of a lexus IS... you'd think they would be the same but the lexus one is much better.....
